All ways to save in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 certainly has one of the strangest save systems in place, and you’ll want to learn all about it unless you want to lose in-game progression.

The save system is pretty similar to the prequel, and you can’t save whenever you want by pressing a key. Instead, you’ll have to consume a particular type of potion in order to save when you want or sleep in specific beds that can be found around the map.

Let’s take a look at how the save system works to ensure that you don’t end up accidentally losing your in-game progression.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 save system explained

There is an autosave feature that works at key moments in the main quest. Usually, the autosave happens when you’ve completed a task in a quest. When you quit the game, just use the “Save and Quit” option. When you want to resume your journey once again, you’ll be able to access the save points.

If you don’t want to rely on the autosave system, there are two workarounds. One involves using the Saviour Schnapps potion, while the other requires sleeping.

All ways to get Saviour Schnapps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Saviour Schnapps is a potion that allows you to save the game instantly. You can find this rare item inside different chests, and from traders. The best place in my books will be the Apothecary if you want to purchase them directly, and they come in three different types.

• Weak Saviour Schnapps: Saves the game
• Saviour Schnapps: Saves the game but also heals 10 HP and increases Strength, Vitality, and Agility by 1 for 3 minutes.
• Strong Saviour Schnapps: This version does the same as a normal version but heals 20 HP and increases Strength, Vitality, and Agility by 2 for 5 minutes.

Irrespective of which type you’re using in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, they will always help you to save your in-game progress. You can use the item from your inventory before an uncertain mission to ensure that a defeat isn’t going to prove too much. If you pause the game and select “Save Game“, it will automatically consume the potion from your inventory (assuming you have at least one).

Using sleep as a save option

If you sleep on your bed, it will also save all your in-game progression. There is a catch, as the function only works if you’re sleeping on your own bed. If you’re using a bed on a camp, it won’t save your progress. You can work around this challenge by renting a bed at a tavern or an inn. The easiest option is to just sleep in your own bed, and you can unlock more of them by completing the Blacksmith Radovan and Mille Kreyzi’s quests.
